" OF MYSTERY, by that past master of fiction who chooses
to mask the open secret of his office ns dignitary of the Church of
England under the pan name of G. A. Blrmincham. It is odd to read
such n sentiment from the author of "Oossamer," that most subtle nnd
brilliant of character studies, but in this extravaganza, just published
v viuiiep U. Doran Company, he taps once more tho vein ot "Hpa.i
.0i (Jold"; and the whimsicalities of his plot are unadulterated h
iiythinR nearer reality than the stage of n musical comedy. Th
huractcrs nre living to their finger tips but they play their pait
vi'h only half concealed merriment at their own absurdities; -n'
he joy of the book is in the delicious fooling in which the author in
dulges himself to his heart's content.

Novels that Entertain
THE BOOMERANG
By DAVID GRAY
It has all the gayety, brilliance and exhilarating humor
of the phenomenal dramatic success upon which the
story is founded. The plot is unhackneyed, and the
dialogue, of which there is a generous quantity, is
brilliant and stimulating; the characters are easy to
believe in and are irresistibly attractive. Moreover,
the narrative moves with that rapidity which appeals
to American readers who like to be, even in their
imaginative adventures, in the midst of "something
doing" Thousands who have seen the play will find
new pleasure in following along a new path one of
the most delightful and satisfying plots of recent
j ears. Illustrated. $1.40.
